réveille-toi. a certain retail debut is soon to make history - buckle shoes included. yes folks, the paris-based roger vivier has just landed on madison avenue.

the news is, the new york boutique is modeled after vivier's own pad. cotton candy colors with an assortment of paintings, african masks, and antiques, with a décor by chanel muse, inès de la fressange. and you've no doubt seen the shoes adorning the toes of mrs. michael douglas, kate winslet, and the such. but he's been around longer than that. yes, his shoes were fit for a queen (elizabeth that is) and ava gardner back when he was designing for dior. (as if we needed to tell you.)

scope out this 3,000 square foot townhouse for new eyewear, weekend bags, and designer bruno frissoni's exclusive bespoke bags and shoes. yes, the guy who used to call both christian lacroix and karl lagerfeld boss.

talk about clichés. 'cause once you leave the boutique, you could literally be the woman who lived in her shoes.
